Hi Silvio,

The insect is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the Aricia allous butterfly. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Bella nitidezza e buona composizione.

Well done

Saluti Francesco

Ciao Silvio,parte sinistra sfuocata ma il resto è davvero eccellente,altra grande rarita' in questa miniera di montagna di farfalle non comuni. Buona giornata,Luciano

Hi Silvio,
Effective photo, perfect background blur and colors. Left wing is pin sharp, but the right was a bit too closed to the lens, so some details were lost as the focus was rather on the flower. However, looking at the entire image this mistake is not that much distracting.
Kind regards, László
